Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year




So we enjoyed our holidays very much and I seriously cannot believe they are over so quick and now out of site! This year we spent Christmas in Fallon, we drove out on Christmas eve (even though Jeramy had to work that evening he drove me out and went back to work then came back out to Fallon , soo nice). Jeramy's mom made a delicious Christmas Eve dinner, then we Danced and sang while we watched MAMMA MIA(here i go again. . . my my . . . ). Then Jeramy and I were up when Santa came to set up Parks' way cool transformers tent! So I remember Christmas being fun and exciting as a kid, but I tell ya nothing compares to seeing the cute excitement of your child when he sees that tent! Jeramy and i were so giddy and excited for him! We had a wonderful Christmas morning, and then just relaxed the rest of the day, then we had to head home that afternoon.



Then we traveled to Ely Nevada for Jeramy's grandmother's funeral, who passed away the Friday before Christmas. It was a good drive till our car had some trouble outside of Austin. SO like 8 degrees outside, it is dark, no cell phone service, and our car is struggling! Yes i had horrible thoughts about how we would spend the night out in the cold and thank goodness that when we travel in the winter I insist on taking food water and blankets for such an incident! But thank goodness we made it to Eureka to the sheriff's station to call Jeramy's dad. So it was a very long day, but it was great to meet Jeramy's aunts and uncle and cousins that I had never met, and it was fun to see where his mother and grandparents lived. Really great stories.


For new years we wnet to dinner as a family to Texas Roadhouse. Horrible wait, complained, got a free appitizer, great waitress, good food, fabulous baked sweet potatoes with marshmellows. Then came home and fell asleep on the couch (yes both of us) at ten! Not exctactly the party I was hoping for!


HAPPY NEW YEAR!!



p.s. I made it through the first sunday of the year in Primary!!!!! YEAH for us girls!! (I do want to know why it is a fast sunday, cant they change it? We need a lot of energy for that day. Oh well.)

YAY for a new post! Glad you had a great Christmas! You should have had your 80's dance party on New Years Eve so you could have stayed up longer! Well Parks is cute in his Christmas jammies. Bummer that the season came and went huh?

Isn't Christmas fun with a 17 month old? Hoyt was so fun this Christmas! Scary about your car and the 8 degree weather, but you were prepared....smart girl!!

We were in bed by 11 on New Year's, so you guys weren't the only ones! :)

Asleep by 10:00 pm - LAME. Next year we'll have to hang out so I can keep you up!

Awesome tent. At least you were able to sleep at 10 on New Year's. I was up trying to figure out how to teach Caleb that sleeping at night is an OK thing to do:) I couldn't even hear Ryan Seacrest count down the new year over the crying!
